Incredible stone home renovation

There are before and after projects, and then there's this before and after project, which sees a crumbling stone relic of a house not only being saved, but restored and renovated top to bottom, to create a warm and inviting home that's filled with luxury features and beautiful detailing.

It wouldn't be a stretch of the imagination to say that the architect in charge of designing this home had their work cut out, but the quality and feel of the finished result must have made it more than worth all their time and effort.

With gorgeous open-plan living spaces melding together to create a harmonious layout, wooden accents that draw you in, and a fabulous respect for the original building permeating every space, this is a project that will fire up the creativity and determination in even the most reluctant property developer.

After: Fit for a queen

Now this is a house! If it wasn't for the chunky stone doorways, we wouldn't be convinced this is the same property, but it really is.

With rustic stone work having been added and restored, a second floor built, and a simple yet stunning façade now in place, this is a home that makes you want to stare at it and then wander inside, which we're going to do…

After: Creative use of space

This might not be the largest house we've ever shown you, but what a great embodiment of size not always mattering.

This main living space offers every home comfort you could ever need, with a striking kitchen meeting a cute dining spot, and then a comfortable living room. And just look at that colour palette! Soft creams, rich browns and little piquant touches of white are making this so stylish.

After: Sweet and cosy

This layout is wonderful, and by standing in the kitchen you can appreciate the simple yet elegant living room area. Nothing strays from the prescribed coffee and cream palette, which adds so much warmth and cosiness it's hard to resist the temptation to curl up on the sofa for a nap!

And just look at that full width window, which draws plenty of light into the small space, while also offering a tangible connection to the outside.
